If you use "mirror", you have the option of instead of mirroring a remote site to your site. Here is an example: package=debupdatesend site=mail.remote.dom local_dir=/huge/debian/dists/slink/main/upgrade-older-i386 remote_dir=/home/xyz/update mail_to=xyz@local.dom remote_user=xyz remote_password=xyzpassword force_times=yes get_file=false <---- THIS IS THE OPTION!! do_deletes=false file_mode=0644 A disadvantage of mirror instead of rsync is if you append to a file, rsync can just transfer the appended part, while mirror resends the whole file.
